My friend and his girlfriend appeared in the doorway like a 1700s mob gathering to watch a beheading; my friend, upon seeing Megan struggling with the air conditioner while I lied on the bed, had a look on his face like he had just driven slowly past a grisly auto accident on a highway.

Just to rub salt in the wound that I was creating in the evening, Megan accidentally knocked over a glass of water off the night stand while she was wrestling with the AC.

Instead of getting up, all I could muster was: "um, you knocked over some water."

My friend, his girlfriend, and Megan had become a team at this point, helping install the AC and wiping up water; they were also almost like attendants to me. They might as well have been waving palm leaves and feeding me grapes.

But it got worse. After Megan plugged in the AC she looked at me triumphantly: "there you go."

I glanced at the thermostat: 74. It felt like 74 in the room before the AC arrived!

"74????" I yelped.

She said: "well what do you want it on?"

I finally got up. I slammed the "down" arrow on the thermostat.

"66, obviously" I said.

As we settled down in bed, I thought to myself: "what a lazy, high-maintenance bitch I am."

I was sent home. Plopping on the couch/bed, making demands is not a good strategy.

What's the worst move a guy has done at the end of the night that ruined your mood and destroyed his chances? Is it just over-aggressiveness, or is it something goofy like me acting like a Roman Emperor? Would you be out of the mood if a guy pulled the AC move that I did?
